Details about the Porsche Cayman S Sport, also being referred to as the Cayman Clubsport, have surfaced today and the resume looks impressive. No official announcement has been made, but the car is expected to be a stripped-down, track ready, street-legal version of the Cayman S for buyers who want the most out of their mid-engined German sports car.

According to Britain’s AutoCar, the S Sport will go on sale in the U.K. in October. No word on U.S. availability yet, but it is likely. No prices are known either, but it’s expected to cost about 4,000 pounds (US$5,588) over the Cayman S’ 44,000-pound (US$61,466) price. Porsche recently announced that the 2009 Cayman will cost $60,200 in the U.S., so a similar $5,600 premium for the S Sport is likely. Should it come to our shores, it would be significantly cheaper than the similar Porsche 911 GT3 RS.

If tradition is adhered to, the S Sport will pursue significant weight savings rather than power upgrades. According to AutoCar, the S Sport will feature a stripped-out interior, forged alloy wheels, a simplified lighting system and lightweight body panels that, all together, should knock about 220 lbs off the curb weight. Combined with the Cayman S’ 320-hp direct-injected flat six and a standard six-speed manual gearbox with a limited-slip differential, the S Sport will likely knock a little time off the Cayman S’ 4.5-second 0 to 60 time and make it a blast on the track. The S Sport will also get some body modifications and a fixed rear spoiler to replace the retractable unit found on the Cayman S. Buyer will also be able to order the car in race spec, which will add a six-point harness, roll cage and fire extinguisher.
